Quick fact: Prophet Musa (A.S.) received religious education and guidance from Prophet Shoaib (A.S.), who was also his father-in-law.

Explanation

After fleeing Egypt, Prophet Musa (A.S.) arrived in Madyan where he met Prophet Shoaib (A.S.). Prophet Shoaib (A.S.) not only gave him shelter but also imparted religious knowledge and wisdom. Musa (A.S.) spent around eight to ten years in his company, during which he married one of Shoaib's daughters. This period served as crucial training before Musa (A.S.) received prophethood at Mount Tur.

Good to know

Prophet Shoaib (A.S.) was sent to the people of Madyan, who were known for dishonest trade practices. He is sometimes referred to as "Khateeb-ul-Anbiya" (the Orator of the Prophets) due to his eloquent preaching. The Quran narrates the story of Musa's arrival in Madyan and his meeting with Shoaib (A.S.) in Surah Al-Qasas. Prophet Shoaib (A.S.) is also mentioned in the lineage of prophets sent to different nations.
